The only time I ever got checked out in an unfamiliar aircraft at night,
the alternator failed.

You must be living right. NOT ! ! ! g

I'll bet you are ready to jump into another one, and do it again, right?

And people wonder how bad maintenance habits are spread or taught to
unsuspecting/knowlageable students/pilots. When I jump in to an unknown
airplane I expect the worst that every thing has not been properly
maintained and is going to fail!!! It don't matter if it's a flight school
or private owner.... If a flight instructor told me the alternator was
flakey I would say then shouldent it be fixed? how much money did you pay to
earn your certificate to lose it becuse you knew somthing was flakey? or
worse yet you knew it was flakey did not say somthing and someone died!
